What started you off in your career path as a chef?

If there was one recipe to remember you by, which one would it be and why? 

- From my Mom: Pork Humba! It was a staple dish in the family for years. My childhood dish and one of my comfort food. My Mom cooks it better than me, she does, up to this time.

What was the most challenging project you handled?

- not project, the first time doing catering for 1500pax and I was just few months old of operation in the business. 

What other things are in your bucket list? 

- joining a Culinary Competition in the international stage.

If given a blank check to finance any dream project, what would you work on?

- A restaurant with a live cooking show kitchen, a bar by the beach or overlooking a view of the ocean.
